Down
An
Object
To
An
Initial
Plaster
Carving,
Then
A
Wax
Mold,
Then
A
Gypsum
Mold
And
Finally,
A
Bronze
Casting
Of
Dull
Gold,
The
Labor
Of
Many
Days.
I wasn’t
Looking
For
Praise,
I only
Wanted
My
Visitors
To
See
This
Close
Aspect
Of
My
Work
And
Me,
But
I began
To
Sense
They
Didn’t
Want
To
Know,
So
I passed
Other
Things
By,
And
Patiently
Waited
For
Them
To
Go.
